Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of products to aid personal hygiene and more particularly to toilet paper and toilet paper dispensers.
- FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of the toilet paper dispensing system of the present invention, containing an individual sized and one-time-use amount of toilet paper within the package or dispenser of the system.
- FIG. 2 is a front view of the dispensing system of FIG. 1 , with one side of the package cut-away to show the interior of the package and the package seal area.
- FIG. 3 is another side perspective view of the dispensing system of FIG. 1 , demonstrating tearing across the package tear line for opening to avoid tearing in the middle of the package.
- FIG. 4 is a view of the toilet paper used in the dispensing system of the invention, shown folded as it would be held in the package, and opened out as it would be available for use outside the package.
- both the toilet paper and the package may be comprised of biodegradable material, such as for example biodegradable paper.
- the toilet paper may be comprised of biodegradable paper and the package may be comprised of a waterproof material such as for example standard poly bag material.
- the waterproof material is biodegradable.
- ten sheets of toilet paper are used in an individual package. That is, in one embodiment, the system of the invention comprises ten sheets of toilet paper folded to fit an individual-sized package. Such fold may be accomplished for example by folding the ten sheets of toilet paper five times. Although reference is made to “ten sheets,” the toilet paper may be one continuous sheet with perforations, as shown in FIG. 4 , that would make it divisible into sheets, such as ten sheets in number.
- an individual-sized package 10 comprises two sides 11 and 12 , each about 3 inches square, sealed at the edges 14 to comprise a 3′′ ⁇ 3′′ package, and the toilet paper 16 is folded to be about 2 inches square, allowing for the package seal to be about 1 ⁇ 4 inch wide and the gap between the seal and the toilet paper to be about 1 ⁇ 2 to 3 ⁇ 4 inch.
- Patent numbers In researching “toilet paper dispensing” Patent numbers all searched under PATFT Numbers 1-65 and APPFT Numbers 1-45 none described a portable dispense unit solution. There was not a travel toilet paper solution identified that meets these needs per research under various search terms. This is a unique and underserved area of patents.
